I Can Hear a Pin Drop

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

Got my new ear boosters (hearing aids) yesterday. Wow, what a difference. For the first time in decades, those characters on TV have stopped whispering and mumbling.

[Yul Lose]

When I got mine about a year ago I was amazed at what I had missed. I guess the best part is that Mrs. Lose and I can converse now without her having to yell or me pretend that I've heard what she said.

Wait til you go outside when the hummingbirds are squabbling over a feeder. The damn things chatter all the time.

As long as it's not the pin from a handgrenade! One of these days I've got to get a new "ear trumpet". Wife getting real tired of me saying, "What?"

[Calamity Kris]

I applaud you gents for wearing them. I know of so many other folks that could wear them but won't........................

Count my SIL as one of them. She got at least three pairs,doesn't wear any of them. Constant Huh's are somewhat exasperating

Now that you have them, learn to maintain them.

 

A lot of folks give up on them because they "fail" after a month or two, when the real problem is that you need to learn how to properly clean them.

 

Do yourself a favor, and if you don't have one already, get a 4-6" magnifier mounted in a flex lamp with a bright halogen or LED fixture. The more light, the better. And then you will see the dried skin, dandruff, ear wax, dog hair, human hair, and all the rest of the junk that clogs the hearing aids and makes them seem useless. Ask your audiologist to show you how to clean your particular model.

 

You'll be glad you did.
